​There is nothing wrong with wanting a better life, but defining what that means for each individual is important. Many people define a “better life” has having more money and more luxury. If that is one’s goal, then determining the cost involved to reach that goal is important. Perhaps desiring a better life might be more in line with time for ourselves and time to be involved with other people. Perhaps a better life means deepening our ability to love, to connect with The Divine, or to find meaning and purpose in the lives we have without reaching for more of this or of that.
